Okay, this is a really stupid question, but I just can't figure it out. When you reply to something that's been said in a thread, and want to include that line and it's original author in your post, how do you add it in so that it's all nice and formatted with the person's name and their comment? Every time I try, it appears as plain text, without the formatting.

Instead of hitting reply, hit "quote" at top right.

maybe you mean DECIDE the text you wish to include? If you SELECT the text, then hit enter, the selected text dissapears, and you're left with the unselected text.
